Full details

Are all 5 notebooks in the pack the same color?

What does PEFC certification mean?

Troubleshooting

Ink smearing on the opposite page

Ensure that the ink has fully dried before closing the notebook, especially when using high-flow fountain pen nibs.

Page tearing incorrectly at perforation

Fold the page along the perforation line first before pulling to ensure a cleaner detachment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely smooth writing surface that is fountain-pen friendly
  • Wire binding allows for a lay-flat design
  • Micro-perforated pages for easy tearing
  • Waterproof gloss varnish on covers adds durability
  • PEFC certification indicates environmentally conscious production

Cons

  • Wire binding can be damaged if stored in overstuffed bags
  • Card cover may show indentations if pressed hard
  • A4 size might be too large for compact carrying

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No technical setup is required for these notebooks. To maintain the integrity of your notebook:

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the paper from absorbing atmospheric moisture, which can affect ink absorption.
  • Handling: When removing pages, pull gently along the perforated line to ensure a clean tear.
  • Compatibility: The 90gsm paper is compatible with most standard ballpoint, gel, rollerball, and fountain pen inks. For optimal results with fountain pens, allow ink to dry briefly before turning the page to prevent smudging.
